How to date a carnivore

The highs and lows of being with someone who loves eating meat.

Can the love of eating meat ever get in the way of a relationship?

You may have heard the phrase 鈥榯he way to someone鈥檚 heart is through their stomach鈥�, but what happens if the foods they eat are wildly different from yours?

Tamasin Ford explores what it鈥檚 like to date a carnivore. Not just someone who eats meat, but someone who loves meat. Someone who has been brought up to eat meat in every meal.

We speak to two couples whose diets can sometimes be the source of their most heated arguments to find out how they navigate meal times and social events. Can tolerance win out over frustration?
